Whether or not this man was just trying to have an innocent laugh or a playful flirt is unclear - but his attempted prank on a bikini-clad woman goes painfully wrong as you can see from this video.

The clip, the location of which is unclear, starts with the unsuspecting victim stood talking to a friend at the side of the pool and laughing innocently, before she walks a little closer to the water.

From off camera, the man runs towards her - but it is abundantly clear that she is nowhere near close enough for a simple shove to get her in the water.

But the joker in red has got his measurements all wrong and instead of picking her up he shoves her straight into the concrete tiles before she bounces headfirst into the water.

To complete his humiliation, the man also ends up in the drink - but worse is to follow as the woman is briefly stuck in a helpless position with her head under the surface and her legs flailing on the poolside.

She manages to pull her legs over, complete an impromptu front flip into the water and then resurface, desperately gasping for air.

There is an extremely awkward silence as her other friends rush to her aid, while her assailant bobs about with a sheepish look on his face.

When it becomes apparent that she has sustained no serious injuries, the group begins laughing hysterically and all is seemingly forgiven.
